Tornado kills two in Missouri; more tornadoes on tap for today

The tropical Atlantic is quiet today, and none of the reliable models are predicting tropical cyclone formation over the next five days.

At approximately 12:15 am CDT this morning, a tornado near Paris, Missouri, killed two people when it ripped apart their mobile home and tossed them 400 feet away. At least four other tornadoes hit Missouri yesterday, and two tornadoes touched down in Texas, and one each in Louisiana and Mississippi. The driver of a Petal Water & Sewer service truck was hospitalized in Mississippi after strong winds picked up his truck and tossed it across I-59.

Another severe weather outbreak is expected today in the U.S., from the Mississippi Valley northward through the Tennessee Valley and the Great Lakes. Tornado Watches have already been posted, and today's severe weather has the potential to generate a few strong, long-track tornadoes. You can follow the outbreak today on our new interactive tornado map, which will post the tornado damage reports as they are received. The new feature also allows one to plot all the historical tornado activity back to 1950 for any region in the U.S. If you take a wunderphoto of a tornadic storm or tornado damage, and click on the "tornado" type of image flag when uploading it, our software will attempt to match your photo to the storm report for that tornado. These photos will then be available when you click on a storm report on the interactive tornado page. One of the storm reports for Missouri yesterday has several wunderphotos of the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado available, thanks to wunderphotographer Paleohebrew.

Morning Folks. Hope everyone stayed safe during the overnight. I see it was just as rough as it was during the day.

Looks like I am under the gun today. I have my gear and truck ready. I will be at work till 1pm today then off to chase. According to the SPC looks like a wind / rain event. They have me under a 40% chance for wind damage and 5% for tornados and hail. Acoording to their synopsis we have a chance for bow echos and training supercells.

Prayers to all those who were effected during the last few days of this outbreak and to all those whos lives have been changed forever :(

pottery - I just fixed the problem myself the other day.....I have never set up a blog here but I did it exactly like I told you above...I rechecked the steps again and it was the same as the info I gave you. Did you find control panel after you clicked on "add entry"?

Pottery2....go to "MY BLOG" at top left of this page....then look for the words "add entry" (or something similar....Click "add entry" then on the right of the page (you will need to scroll down some) look for "Control Panel" under control panel you will see "Modify Profile" click this and you should find where you can change the filter to "See All".....Good Luck!

I just remembered that I saw something similar to this system and put the link up. It was on the 850mb vorticity loop and part of it was forecast to break off and slide down thru Fla. at the end of this week.
